Mazda CX-5 2.2D (2012) UK CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 June 2012 11:20

Mazda’s new CX-5 is the company’s first sixth generation vehicle and its importance in the UK cannot be overestimated. Not only does the compact crossover usher in the Japanese firm’s new Kodo design language - Soul of Motion is its snappy catchphrase – but it's also the first in-the-metal iteration of Mazda’s groundbreaking suite of fuel-saving Skyactiv technologies. It’s available ...

Mazda Demio EV (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 06 December 2011 12:20

So this is the electric version of Mazda’s Demio (that’s the Madza 2, to you and I), the company’s first modern all-electric car. It’s a development tool, and not aimed at production yet. If you’re reading this with a fair amount of confusion and thinking ‘Hang about, I thought Mazda was doing that SkyActiv malarkey,’ you’re right. Mazda is vigorously and ...

Mazda MX-5 2.0 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 31 October 2008 11:17

This is Mazda’s new 2009 MX-5 – and in a world exclusive, CAR has driven the facelifted MX-5 seven months ahead of its UK debut to bring you the first road test of what is still the world’s most popular sports car. The news is all good… The facelifted Mazda MX-5 looks pretty much the same. What's new? Visually, the ...

Mazda 2 1.5 Sport (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Whitworth, 18 June 2007 08:25

This looks a bit more interesting than the outgoing Mazda 2 You’re not wrong. When it arrives here in September, Mazda’s new 2 supermini will sit on spanking new chassis architecture – the same basic platform structure that will underpin Ford’s new Fiesta – and will trade the boxy profile of its predecessor for these sleek and wedgy lines that ...

Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 03 June 2007 02:36

How does a hydrogen-powered RX-8 work – and no technobabble please... It's simple. The RX-8's rotary engine can run on either petrol or hydrogen, which is stored in liquid form in a second fuel tank. The engine is fitted with a second set of hydrogen injectors that are situated above the intake chamber, and the driver has a switch in ...

Mazda 3 2.0D (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Whitworth, 08 May 2007 05:09

This Mazda looks vaguely familiar – the 3 is hardly new is it? True, but the new turbo diesel engine under its bonnet is. Mazda has finally got around to boosting its 3 line-up with the big 2.0-litre turbo diesel already used in the 5 and 6. It joins the existing 90bhp and 109bhp versions of the 1.6-litre turbo diesel, ...

Mazda Hakaze concept (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Whitworth, 12 February 2007 02:28

Another week, another new Mazda concept car… I know what you mean. This is the Hakaze – that’s Japanese for leaf being blown in the wind – and it follows on from the Nagare shown at Los Angeles and the Ryuga at Detroit in Mazda’s line-up of ‘flow’ inspired concept cars. It makes its public debut as next month’s Geneva ...
